Broncos

A high-ranking NFL executive tells Tom Pelissero of USA Today that being in a position whether the Broncos may have to pay to QB Brock Osweiler next year may end up being a “good problem” to have, especially if they believe he’s their long-term solution.

“Look, if he’s a good player, it’s a good problem,” the executive told Pelissero. “But it’ll be very, very difficult to navigate on multiple fronts. Once he shows he can be the guy, you’re in a tough spot.”

“They’re the only ones who are going to know if he’s their guy or not,” another NFL executive said of the situation. “But if he lights it up, and he thinks he’s your future, and you’ve already been there with him — I won’t say you’re going to pay him top market (value), but you’re going to have to pay him.”
